Assuming that potential energy of spring is zero when it is stretched by $\frac{x_{0}}{2}$ , its potential energy when it is compressed by $x_{0}$ is

Options:

Answer:

Solution:

Change in potential energy is independent of reference

$∴ U_{2} - U_{1} = \frac{1}{2} k x_{0}^{2} - \frac{1}{2} k {(\frac{x_{0}}{2})}^{2} = \frac{3}{8} k x_{0}^{2}$
